Joan Baez Review / Creedence Clearwater Preview (Album 3)

(Joan Baez preview here) In the Book "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die", the writer of the Joan Baez album review said that Joan Baez has "the voice of an angel". He is very right. Joan Baez has a beautiful voice. Personally though, I don't enjoy folk music. I listened to her album without any ideas like that in my head, but this just doesn't do it for me. Her songs remind me a lot of protest songs and songs that you would hear in the 50's and 60's (which makes sense, since this album is from 1960). I liked it, but I don't think that I will be listening to it much more.

Favorite Songs:
     House Of The Rising Sun (yes, it's a cover)
     Henry Martin (for her guitar playing)

And now, for the first album from the 1970s:

Album: Cosmo's Factory

Artist: Creedence Clearwater Revival

Release Year: 1970

"It is quintessential Creedence. A glorious distillation of their distinctive, Southern-style mix of choogling swamp boogie and prime, blistering pop. Eschewing the druggy psychedelic excess of many of their San Francisco peers, the album includes both sides of their three recent hit singles, to which they added covers of songs made famous by Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, and Bo Diddley..." - Ross Fortune
